The sweet little secret of Manhattan’s bustling heart

NEW YORK– On West 55th Street in Manhattan, where most people pass by without a glance, sits a storefront that seems to belong to another era. If you take a break, your eyes might just come across Myzel’s Chocolates, a small candy shop with a sweet story to tell.

Stepping inside is like traveling back in time, to a time when things move at a gentler pace. There is an old-world charm to Myzel that is clearly down to Kamila Myzel, the owner.

She came to the United States from Poland to seek political asylum in 1980. She says she got there with luck, heart and a little sugar.

We invite you to meet her in this local video.
